On this verse

The priest shall burn the memorial of it,.... That which is taken out of it for a memorial, the same with the handful of fine flour and cakes of the meat offering: part of the beaten corn thereof; or that which was ground in a mill: and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; as was done in the other meat offerings: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord, see Lev 2:2.

Related commentary

Made by fire - The fire denotes that fervency of spirit, which ought to be in all our religious services. Holy love is the fire, by which all our offerings must be made: else they are not of a sweet savour to God.

John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765evangelical

That is not expected from green ears which one may justly look for from those that have been left to grow fully ripe. If those that are young do God's work as well as they can, they shall be accepted, though they cannot do it so well as those that are aged and experienced.
